Rebuilt my computer :)

Well over the weekend i rebuilt my computer, added some more shit into it, cleaned up the cable management and all that. still gotta reinstall vista and reload everything back on, just been backing some shit up and then gonna try and overclock this one as far as i can go, hopefully get to about 3.3ghz or something. (stock at 2.33ghz)

Here are some pics for ya
They were taken on my phone, so thats why there not that great.

Took the old Zalman off and slammed in a new V8 Gotta love removable motherboard trays. dont mind the mess on the table...



Starting to get everything back in and working out how to put the cables



Cable management is pretty much done



This is what it looked like before i cleaned it all up, replaced the side window with a plain clear perspex one, heaps better as you can see its pretty messy.



And this is what it looks like now



Also played around with my old school P4 computer, cut a side window out, put the old Zalman cooler on, some more fans and overclocked this one to 3.7ghz, was originally 3.0ghz



Just thought id share that with you guys
enjoy...

Yeah the V8 is damn big! just fits in with about 1 or 2mm clearance when sliding in the mobo tray, but fits nicely.
Yeah the Zalman is 775 but i thought what the hell, and put it on the old comp. playing around overclocking that one first to get a feel for what im doing. i did get the old P4 to boot up on 3.96ghz, but as soon as i ran prime95 crashed the comp. its really hard monitoring the temps on it to, realtemp and coretemp dont work on old school P4 oh well

cable management is the KEY to everything!

just do it how us oldschoolers used to do it, buy a thermometer and press it against the part you want to check the temp gauges on old p4's arent that accurate anyway sometimes varying as much as 5 degrees

Nice the new cpu are easy as to oc heaps easier than old 1 snow my 6420 stock is 2.2 i think and easy does 3.2 but i run it 24-7 on 3

yeah the only prob is when i bought this comp i didnt know as much as i do now, so i have the Q8200 which is 2.33ghz but only got a multiplier of 7. so apparently it makes it harder to OC then say the q6600. I will be happy to get a 24/7 on 3.3 or something like that and also have my ram bumped up to at least 1066, but im pretty sure it can go higher, got some good corsair ram 8GB of this shit too

tidy.

fans on the bottom? wouldnt be as effective, would they?

nah they are actually, they blow straight onto the graphics card. there is ventilation on the bottom and the case is slightly raised off the ground so air does get in through there. works a treat

very very nice snowwy.

yeah turned out all right i think, now im thinking of the next thing to do to it

in the usb port?

hmmm i just realised i left someone in the first pic on the table, was wondering where that got to

You mean that massive wad of drug money?

yup only drug dealers keep their money banded together

yeah whoops forgot that was there, still pondering what its going to go towards...
only drug dealers say only drug dealers keep their money banded together

i think i might follow in 7th footsteps and pick up a pair of new nikes they were very sexy shoes 7th

Fuck yeah. Court Force High Tops 2009.




If you don't own a pair of sexy shoes you have nothing to show for in your life.

haha oh but i already got got like 8 pairs or air force 1's

needa go back to america to pick up some more

To correct you Quoth, its actually the "Thermaltake Armor+ Full Tower Case" but ill let it slip

I got it from CPL in Notting Hill for $269 i believe. but just a reminder, this case does weigh 17kg BY ITSELF, where the silver one weighs less as its made with aluminum. but if your not moving it it dosnt matter and black looks better anyway

and yes laggin the antec 1200 is a decent case but its up to personal preference IMO, there both great cases but im not a fan of having the PSU at the bottom of the case

What the fuck 17kg is it bulletproof
